QUESTIONS!!

So I was tagged in a blog, and so I decided to play along :) If I tag you just answer the questions I post at the bottom!

1~What would your perfect day be like?
Hmm... My perfect day would consist of sleeping til about 8 or 9 and then getting up, working out, and getting ready for the day. Then I would spend the day with my family and friends, because no day is better spent than with family and friends. We would just relax and do whatever we wanted with no cares in the world. (I actually spent a day very close to perfect this last weekend at Bear Lake)

2~ What is your favorite reality TV show?
My favorite reality TV show is definitely Biggest Loser! I love, love, love that show! It is very few shows that actually help people change their life for the better. It's not about greed, or money(sort of is), but instead about health, and living the best life you can. They are helping people extend the length of their life. I love to watch it every week, and i will admit, it makes me cry!

3~If you could go back and give advice to your 16 year old self what would it be?
As much as I hate to admit this, I would say.... Listen to your parents!! I could have saved myself a lot of hurt, heartache and trials, if I would have just listened to them. They really do know what they are talking about. I would also say, not to forget about family. I wish I would have been a little more focused on them instead of my friends.

4~Post one of your favorite pictures and WHY is it your favorite?
I love this picture!! This picture is of me at one of my friend's wedding with her little brother. We were waiting for her to come out of the temple, and we were just talking and he randomly starts saying pick-up lines on me. It was so funny, I couldn't help but laugh. Right be for this picture, He said "So do you come here often?" and right before that he informed me that mine and his wedding would be next! ....He is 16, so I guess I have some waiting to do. :)

5~What is one thing that always makes you smile?
Lots of things make me smile, but something that always makes me smile, is hearing others laugh. I love the sound of laughter, and those who know me know that when others are laughing I can't help but laugh even if I have no clue why they are laughing. I know I am a dork.

6~What has been the happiest moment of your life so far?
Hmmm... that is a tough one, I would have to say it wasn't really a moment really but a short period of time, and it was when I discovered who I am as a person, and as a Daughter of God. I have always struggled with my self esteem so when I finally started to see who I really was, my whole outlook on life chaged.

7~What is one of the saddest or most heartbreaking moment of your life so far?
Another tough one. I would have to say though that it is seeing friends settle for things. I have seen too many people settling, because they are scared they will never find what they really want.

8~Whats your wish list for Santa this year?
I want others to be happy and to find the joys in life. I know Santa can't really bring it, but the true meaning of Christmas can :)

Finally A Break!

So after a few weeks of tons of stress and crappy things happening, I finally had a week that was more relaxed, one that wasn't as demanding on my time. It was actually an AMAZING week!!! I had so many cool experiences this week. Things that made my testimony so much stronger!!! This week was a week of confirmation and reassurance for me. There were things that I had been struggling with and trying to find answers to, and this week a lot of it came to me. It started with General Conference last Saturday. I was able to attend the Saturday morning session, which was awesome! The spirit was sooo strong. There were a couple talks that I felt were given just for me, they were very specific answers to questions I had. Next was a couple neat experiences with the Spirit bearing witness of the Truth! Things I already new but just confirming and reassuring my knowledge. Things that I hadn't ever questioned, but need just that extra strength in my testimony. There were many more experiences I had that were just too special to share on a blog. But things I will remember for the rest of my life. Things that I hold dear to my heart.

This week as I experienced these things, it reminded me how much our Heavenly Father loves us. And that most of the time he let's us suffer, before he blesses us, for us to prove to Him of our faithfulness, but He will ALWAYS bless us! He loves us more than we can comprehend, and wants the best for us. More so than any other person! He is our loving Father in Heaven. He created us in His image, He put much effort into creating each and every one of us, and loves us all individually. He loves us purely, and gets discouraged when we are down on ourselves. He sees us perfectly, He looks beyond our flaws and imperfections, and sees us as we truly are. HIS CHILDREN! As children of God we have so much potential! We have the potential to become Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens, Fathers and Mothers to our own eternal families! I cannot think of any greater potential we could have. We can have all this if we are faithful, and endure to the end. We can have all that the Father hath. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned, or the answers to our prayers are not what we wanted, but as we trust is the Lord, and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we will be putting ourselves closer to that potential, and soon it will become more than our potential it will become our path way in life our destiny. We ALL have that potential, will we live up to that potential? We all can do it, even through the hard times, the Lord loves us and will help us every step of the way if we just ask. So don't let the rough weeks get you down... they will come and go, and you will make it through. :)
